Be careful to keep your head straight
Not high, not low
Looking forward only
And ignore the things
You musn't know
 
Keep you tongue behind your lips
Be more than scrupulous
Of your words
Taste not the pleasures
And be wary of what is preferred
 
Cup those tears, child
What have you lost?
All was nothing but memories
Tales of young follies
Everyone dies without
